Office Bearers Installed to Serve Lacombe, Alberta

Two elders and one deacon were installed during a special service led by Rev. J. Schoeman (of Monarch) on January 19, 2003, in Lacombe, Alberta.

The Home Mission Station of Lacombe began holding services on March 10, 2002. The number of attendants has been steadily growing over the past ten months. Several families have become members of the Free Reformed Churches and the average attendance is at present a little over 60 people. Mr. Bernie Meinen and Mr. Garritt Pikkert and Mr. Gerhard Roolker were installed (respectively) as elders and deacon of the consistory of the overseeing congregation of Monarch, and are charged with the special task of serving the Home Mission Station of Lacombe.

This is an important step in the direction of becoming an official congregation of the Free Reformed Churches, D.V.
